Kaizer Chiefs Fans Can Rejoice as Glody Makabi Lilepo Recovers Quickly from Injury Scare Ahead of Nedbank Cup Match Against Chippa United at FNB Stadium

Good News for Chiefs Fans: Key Players Returning Soon

Kaizer Chiefs supporters can breathe easy as there’s some encouraging news regarding the team’s injury updates.

New recruit Glody Makabi Lilepo, who had raised concerns after a recent injury scare, is expected to be fit and ready for the upcoming Nedbank Cup clash against Chippa United on Saturday, February 15, at FNB Stadium.

Lilepo’s Injury: Nothing to Worry About

Lilepo was substituted during last Friday’s match against Stellenbosch FC due to a suspected injury, which had many worried.

However, the good news is that his condition isn’t serious.

A source from the club confirmed that the striker simply took a minor knock to his thigh towards the end of the game, but he’s already on the mend.

Though Lilepo appeared to be in discomfort as he left the field, prompt medical attention helped him recover quickly.

The source clarified, “It wasn’t a major injury, just a precautionary move to prevent any further strain on his thigh. He was feeling much better the next day and joined the rest of the team for recovery training.

He should be good to go for the game against Chippa United, with plenty of time to get back to full fitness.”

Another Boost: George Matlou’s Recovery Progress

In addition to Lilepo’s speedy recovery, Chiefs fans can also look forward to the return of midfielder George Matlou. Matlou, who picked up an injury during the Soweto Derby, missed recent games against AmaZulu and Stellenbosch.

However, things are looking up for him, as the club’s medical and conditioning teams are optimistic about his fitness.

The source added, “Yes, George was injured in the Soweto Derby, which is why he missed the last two games.

But he’s made great progress, and by Saturday, he should be ready to play.

Whether he features in the match will depend on team selection, but he’s definitely on the mend.”

Missing Duba: A Gap in the Attack

While Lilepo and Matlou are expected to be available for selection, there’s still a notable absentee in the squad.

Striker Wandile Duba remains sidelined with a knee injury, leaving a gap in Chiefs’ attacking lineup.

With Lilepo’s quick recovery and Matlou’s improving fitness, Kaizer Chiefs are looking stronger for their upcoming Nedbank Cup fixture.

Fans will be eagerly awaiting the team’s selection as they aim to move forward in the tournament.
